 | Seventymm is the result of the ‘Red Pill’ that Raghav took while he envisioned making movie rentals easy and convenient for the film lovers in across India. So ‘The Man Who Would Be King’ pursued his ‘million dollar baby’ across two continents and Seventymm was born. As a proud founder and CEO, Seventymm became India’s largest movie rental service and raked a funding of over $10 million from top tier VCs including Draper Fischer Jurveston, Matrix India Partners and ePlanet Ventures. Raising funds and starting winning ventures is not new to Raghav, who thrives on ‘Risky Business’. In 2002, he founded Rendition Networks, assuming the critical role of CEO. Rendition received top-tier VC support from Ignition Partners, Madrona Ventures and others. Within its first year of business, Rendition won business with 25 Fortune-500 accounts, including Wells Fargo, T-Mobile, JP Morgan Chase, Countrywide Financial, Microsoft and Fidelity. In February 2005, just three years after its creation, Rendition was acquired by Opsware Inc. for $40 million. Previously, Raghav held various executive positions at Microsoft across eight years. He attended the ‘School of Rock’, but prefers to talk about his MBA from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; a seldom used MS in Mechanical Engineering, and another MS in Computer Science from University of Missouri-Rolla. |

 | With all his subtle jokes and wise cracks, Anuj may well be labelled Seventymm’s Boman Irani. However, beneath the humorous veneer, he is voraciously planning away Seventymm’s success. Armed with a Post Graduation in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and over 10 years of industry experience in various marketing services companies like ACNielsen India, IMRB, Research International India, TNS India and Hansa Research Group behind him, Anuj’s core competency is in leveraging consumer insights to generate compelling marketing and sales initiatives. Leaving behind the post of Research Director at Hansa Research Group where he was responsible for setting up the qualitative research division, he has taken up the challenge of making this venture a box office hit. An avid movie lover, his other credentials include closet singing (his only regret being that he cannot sing!). And seriously believing that some day he will win the Booker Prize [the day he is ready with the acceptance speech]. |

 | Besides creating a rocking and winning team, Puneet has another agenda on his charts – to be the next Gregory Peck or Superman, whichever comes to him first! With an adventurous and determined soul, he takes on every challenge with one mission – to fulfil it with élan. Backed by a PGDBM from Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies, Pune, and Executive Programme from IIM, Lucknow and PGDCA from Tata Unisys, Puneet has come far with over 11 years in the Telecom industry. He’s been part of the telecom evolution in India, handled sales, business development, marketing and even full scale operations and marketing in Hutch, DishnetDSL and Sify Limited, where he held his last position as DGM - Channel & Retail Sales for Broadband before moving to Seventymm. He’s also been one of the core members instrumental in conceptualising, research, testing and successful implementation of the business model for Sify Broadband. Like a General with a plan, Puneet’s mantra is to ‘strategise’ and eye on each and every minute detail before targeting any issue – perhaps that’s why he still hopes to find Mackenna’s Gold. He’s really passionate about creating a business from the scratch and has been successful in turnaround of all assignments he has handled in the past. Puneet’s also been a model and an actor – his love being the films and interestingly, astrology. |

With 12 years of experience in sales, marketing and business roles in companies like Mobilink , Pagelink, Satyam Infoway, Reliance Infocomm and Tata AIG General Insurance., Sangram is now a important part of Seventymm. Like an executive producer, Sangram enjoys setting up processes and systems from scratch to make scalable and successful. |

 | Our very own Munna Bhai, Sunil doesn’t believe in mincing words or sugar coating them. He will give you the truth as you need to hear it (which cannot be bad news right?) Born and brought up in the exotic islands of Andaman, Sunil has his roots in Coorg. After finishing his BE from Bangalore University, he has spent 10 years in the Telecom and ITES industries such as Idea (Kerala), Satyam, Spice Telecom, Oxigen (incidentally, he was responsible for launching the brand in South India). Boley toh, besides being the ‘get-it-done’ man, Sunil loves travelling, music and meeting people. He dreams of retiring in the hills of Coorg one day. Amen to that. |

 | Born where one finds the blue hills, Suresh grew up in Ooty - a place known for honeymoons and film shootings. No wonder, that he finally found his place with Seventymm. He's what one would call the 'tough guy', not letting any obstacle get in his way. Suresh has been with ICICI, Max New York Life and Sun Infoways earlier. In his previous company Dish TV where he was the zonal head for Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Suresh honed his skill of building a team and making it a runaway success. With an MBA in Marketing from Bhartiyar University, he applies his skills as a manager with effectiveness. We think he secretly wants to be like Bruce Willis (especially the way he was in Die Hard) though he claims that Al Pacino is his favourite actor. |
